The Metal Thread - Version 2

[Big Papa Paegan]

Amon Amarth's posted a video on their site in which a viking (UFC fighter Josh Barnett) jumps out of a computer screen to slay a fat message board troll for shitting on the band, only for a teaser for the video to their next single "First Kill" to end it. You know your relevancy is waning when you begin to "mock" your critics and reinforce many of their issues.

So, Phil Anselmo is a dick.

So, Phil Anselmo is a dick.

Anselmo has always been a dick. He comes off as a colossal douche in the book "Louder Than Hell".

As far as projects he's done-Down is the best thing he's done. I still have a soft spot for Pantera, but I tend to understand why some hate them (plus, let's be honest-Sepultura and White Zombie did Groove Metal better than them) and I don't care much for Superjoint Ritual.

So, Robb Flynn has given his two cents on the whole issue.

New album (titled "Gore") drops 4/08

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Shouldn't that be in the "lol at nu-metal" thread? I'd never say they were a metal band, just one that (like SOAD and Tool) has a lot of fans who are into metal.

 

[Brocklock]

The latest Megadeth is very solid despite Dave's vocals being beyond cooked and is their best since Endgame. It's much faster than the last couple and has some terrific solos.

Security tackled a homeless man on the Oscar red carpet. Turns out, it was Rob Zombie.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

It's fake. That's the second time the article was posted, the last time was whatever the previous awards show was (Grammy's?). Rob Zombie debunked it on his Facebook as well.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

I was a little suspicious why a dude like Zombie would even be invited to the Oscars.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

To scream "YEAH" and "MOTHERFUCKER" for every winner.

 

[Gary]

Gotta promote his new movie somehow.

 

[NoCalMike]

So this is coming to my town!

Just saw Cradle of Filth February 20th. I know a lot of the metal community hates them but I don't care they put on a hell of a show and their earlier material is a lot of fun.

My buddy's band is the last local group on before the main acts start on the Providence date. I love shows where I can leave before the headliner.

NEW GORGUTS

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Well, I thought I had seen it all with A Serbian Film. A friend showed me the video for "Forced Gender Reassignment" by Cattle Decapitation, and now I don't know what else to think.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

That video came out a few years ago and is nowhere near as bad as A Serbian Film. That album, though, is incredible.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Leaves Eyes announced today that they have parted with front woman, Liv Kristine. I'm a sad panda.

Jorn Lande is releasing a covers album called "Heavy Rock Radio". I'm pumped beyond comprehension for this.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

My buddy's band is the last local group on before the main acts start on the Providence date. I love shows where I can leave before the headliner.

Highlights of the show were Mallika (Abnormality vocalist) chatting for a few minutes, running into a few people I haven't seen in forever, Lody Kong being surprisingly great, and locals Begat the Nephilim putting on an amazing fucking show. Left a song or two into Suffocation after realizing Frank wasn't singing, and there was no way in fucking hell I was staying for Soulfly.

If only Paul Baloff were alive today.

 

[KingPK]

So......

Um.......

I think I like BABYMETAL.

I say this with full knowledge that Laz probably lives within an hour of me and can show up at my door brandishing a weapon of some kind tomorrow.

Fucking NXT, picking relevant artists to expose me to.

 

[Gary]

I don't really care either way about Babymetal, but the fact they piss off so many people is kinda hilarious.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Jorn is back with another $10 video for his cover of Hotel California.

I like them. I find them fun to listen to.

And yeah, the venom that people spit over them like they're forced to listen to them makes me laugh.
